Rail transport is slow, capacity is underutilized, maintenance is high, and performance is weather dependent. Additionally, around 25% of trains in the Netherlands still operate on diesel, causing high emissions and unsustainable rail operations.

Vertical Take-Off and Landing UAV

We are planning on making a VTOL aircraft that can carry a payload. What we currently have in mind is having a tilt rotor, which allows for vertical lift off and then a propeller plane-like efficiency (for example, V22 Osprey). But the problem with them is that they tend to be very unstable in the transition phase, with pilot-induced oscillations being a major issue. Also, there is an extra aerodynamic complexity with rotors affecting the flow over the wing. Having to carry an extra payload will imply strong rotors and, hence, more structural complexity.
